When a starbond is eligible for delist, is it smart to long or short that stock or what happens when/if delist? jeankie Jan 13, 05:25

Generally, StarBonds can be delisted after about 3 years of inactivity. Usually directors are allowed more time since it can be... eyescovered Jan 13, 06:48

It does, thanks. {nm} jeankie Jan 14, 02:18

Would someone like to manage my portfolio? I have 200 million in cash and just dont have time {nm} ben+trawick Jan 12, 14:34

Thanks to the Starbonds adjust, I finally have enough cash ($500M+) to cover the upcoming increase in Moviestock shares. {nm} fourstars Jan 11, 10:47

dahling, don't you know it's *vulgar* to talk about how much money you have jane_citizen Jan 11, 22:15

Wow. This new site is really good at predicting the top box office winner... www.moviecriticassassins.com {nm} VictorY Jan 11, 10:05

FYI, site usually posts its calls on Thursday... {nm} VictorY Jan 11, 10:15

i'll try to ask this without getting moderated so no price movement please, but as you check your port this AM, how do you feel about OPSIT? islander Jan 11, 04:34

Great information ... thanks Islander. {nm} gordon06 Jan 11, 05:06

that's a great conclusion, thank you very much. But what if the initial offering is 100% sold before reset? krapnek Jan 11, 08:40

There should be an option C - shorted RogerMore Jan 11, 09:15

i should clarify. not every max trade moved the stock 12c. in the hour after reset, the amount was volatile, ranged from 1 to 13 cents. islander Jan 11, 09:44

Ah, I see. Maybe there are thresholds? Or dampeners based on timing of trades? {nm} RogerMore Jan 11, 09:56

My big new strategy...go with the flow....my biggest MST loser is under H$90K and I am working on the SBO's BUY StarBondFund Short the Pats Jan 11, 10:17

i bought it @ ipo Oleg Max Jan 11, 09:28

"recent ipo's have greater volatility than some older higher priced stocks" because there's more trading. {nm} Antibody Jan 11, 10:34

i beg the differ. with each trade of new ipo's price changes fast. Oleg Max Jan 11, 12:10

ok, i take it back. Oleg Max Jan 11, 12:13

now Oleg Max Jan 11, 12:20

Can't reveal too much of the secret sauce, Antibody Jan 11, 13:05

i knew it! Oleg Max Jan 11, 13:07

take it with a grain of salt (cause I cant say why), but I'm getting a feeling a horror remake stock trading above $20 is going DTV {nm} Moviesnob Jan 10, 13:33

So it has already wrapped? {nm} not2fast Jan 10, 13:49

yup {nm} Moviesnob Jan 10, 14:19

Would that mean it delists at 0? {nm} jeankie Jan 11, 07:55

If it goes direct to tv or video, yes. {nm} not2fast Jan 11, 09:27

tracking an ipo closely after reset is very enlightening islander Jan 09, 08:13

What are you beginning to understand? {nm} laujer Jan 10, 07:30

that ipo movement is nuts {nm} islander Jan 11, 01:43

Old player needs to know how the other big portolio players are doing swordfish1 Jan 09, 06:41

I know I'm losing over $2 million a day ($7 million yesterday). Right now I'm trying to ride it out and hope things turn around. {nm} Mojave Jan 09, 08:55

I posted on Stars about my biggest losers, all held the "right"way, and someone criticised my strategy. I have reversed and radared and BUY StarBondFund Short the Pats Jan 09, 09:57

I'm with you... I saw your post below (sure you saw mine)...I'm still 'red' every day, and if I'm 'green' it's usually just $200K or so.. Flash Jan 09, 10:24

i thought the same swordfish1 Jan 09, 11:51

hope you folks stay I know its hard {nm} An Old Actor Jan 09, 21:10

im keeping quiet swordfish1 Jan 10, 07:55

I'm not really going anywhere...but I'm gonna have to re-think how I'm playing... {nm} Flash Jan 10, 08:52

hope you folks stay I know its hard {nm} An Old Actor Jan 09, 21:10

I saw HUGE gains for weeks after the share increase. Now I'm in the same boat you are. Lost over 7 mil in 3-4 days. Rigit Jan 09, 16:36

It's January JohnTEQP Jan 09, 21:06

January is generally a great time on HSX - the openers might not be much, but Christmas movies with great legs, big delists mean cash gets RogerMore Jan 10, 07:27

I can't seem to have a bad day (knock on wood). Well, maybe one or two in a couple of weeks. I'm usually not too active at trading. edzep Jan 09, 21:44

edzep, like lobogotti the other day, it sounds like you are describing my playing style ndmaster Jan 09, 22:12

This is the answer. My portfolio is growing at a rate I have never seen before, and has sustained that growth since the move to 75K limits. RogerMore Jan 10, 07:48

Oh yeah, and many traders still don't get that: about 2/3 or so of all stocks should be held SHORT. edzep Jan 10, 08:03

Traders are afraid of getting burnt if there's news and the price moves up suddenly. But it's a lot better to take the hit on breaking news RogerMore Jan 10, 08:08

Oh, one more thing - I haven't found it very helpful to go chasing the money on stocks that have already moved. RogerMore Jan 10, 08:04

Agreed. I almost never trade other than the days IPO's and can't stop making money. {nm} shadowking Jan 10, 07:57

Lost over 7 million in the past 2 weeks. The only positive has been Starbonds. {nm} laujer Jan 10, 07:32

do Nominoptions for the academy awards cash out at 10 or 12 dollars ? thanks {nm} montgomer174 Jan 08, 04:59

Best movie cashes out at 10, other categories at 12 {nm} krapnek Jan 08, 05:22

Is there a way to sell everything without reseting. ReaperXXX Jan 07, 23:29

No, every security has to be traded individually. {nm} Mojave Jan 08, 08:12

Write a script? {nm} DomoI Jan 09, 08:16

2 mill lost yesterday on stocks.what a fun game, NOT swordfish1 Jan 07, 01:34

I've been bleeding red for the past several weeks, losing $1M, $2/day it seems... I've lost over $40M in the past month... Flash Jan 07, 08:34

yes i was wondering the same thing {nm} swordfish1 Jan 07, 13:29

because not everyone uses the same strategy ndmaster Jan 08, 22:27

I'd say it's time to re look at your strategy - I'm using about the same strategy as always up 10 mil since start of year, 35 mil in 30 days {nm} JDolphin Jan 09, 00:56

I'm new to this game and I think its great to past the time {nm} MasterofPinball1983 Jan 07, 00:13

I still don't understand what you guys are doing wrong. Why don't you just play like you used to? DomoI Jan 07, 05:32

ive tried to play as normal swordfish1 Jan 08, 01:31

Not new at thegame - disappointing {nm} laujer Jan 07, 06:10

spot on.the games now gone to the mtv generation. swordfish1 Jan 08, 04:43

Hard to gage this market lately. I'm down 4.5M in 2 days. The increased max share has enabled the day traders to manipulate {nm} Rigit Jan 07, 10:59

Where do I find charts/delist prices on old stocks? David74 Jan 05, 15:24

the delist price is listed on each delisted stockpage {nm} RazorHawk Jan 05, 17:30

You could also go to the-numbers.com and look at the movie archive and work out the 4th weekend (or 12th if limited) if you do not have the BUY StarBondFund J E T S 11-5 Jan 06, 13:04

that very poor advice ...you do not need symbols to look up stocks on HSX {nm} RazorHawk Jan 06, 13:41

Click on Avanced next to the search. Pulldown Security to MovieStock and search for Active & Delisted. {nm} Antibody Jan 06, 16:52

Thank you all for your advice! I really appreciate it. :-) {nm} David74 Jan 07, 09:28

What would be the purpose of having more than 1 port? It can only be time consuming and a drag. {nm} laura1818 Jan 05, 14:30

some have their main port and then one for Year to Date. {nm} Anniebecca Jan 05, 17:45

I had a port that I used for just playing Starbonds...wanted to see how it did in comparison to my "regular" port... {nm} Flash Jan 06, 09:15

What was the comparison? {nm} laujer Jan 08, 08:54

Not sure if this is right forum...but is there an HSX app for my droid? {nm} Apokalips Jan 03, 23:31

no app, but you can view your port through your phone's browser {nm} ndmaster Jan 04, 07:19
